Rated 5 out of 5 by crzyazian Great day pack
Extremely easy to wear and the color is great. I really enjoy the top pocket near the handle. I can put chapstick in there or camera cleaning pen. I like that the handleis not towards the back but more forward biased. The side mesh pockets are great, on a side note there are holes down there so don't put anything small in there. The only issue I've had is the pull ropes on the zipper are coming off slowly but surely. And a nice thing in the future would be to have a weather resistant version of this bag.

A great pack that has performed as advertised. I have used it to carry a 3 L bladder for a long, unsupported summer run. There was a bit of jostling of contents, but overall, it worked as you would expect a 12 L backpack to work while running--not formfitting like a running vest, but a lot more capable. Its strength is its versatility, and I think it will make an outstanding MTB and day hiking pack as well.
My only critique is that I think it could use an extra set of compression straps to keep it together a little better while running.
I'm 76" and 180 lbs, and the R was a bit on the small side. But I'm also a bit on the tall side.

This bag is a perfect substitute for a "man purse". It's more practical than a messenger bag, blends in and it holds just enough. Great for plainclothes police work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MoonChild Nice Bag Yo!
I have many, many packs. This day pack has good suspension pulled tight to the torso, breathes well and can handle a good stretch with moderate weight. I am using it for cross-training (cycling and running trails). So far so good, I could get a warm-temperature overnight out of this pack... maybe multi-day but I am very lt-weight with equip needs and would not have a sleeping bag or tarp. good seals, good water beads during lt-rain.

This Fluid 12 is perfect size and very comfortable. It fits just enough, snacks, liquids, extra layers and gadgets to make it a must take-along on all hikes and activities. I will be using it in the New England Winter also and I have no doubts that it will keep me with me especially once I start loading it up to its capacity with winter gear. LOVE IT!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by seal4dinner more space than it meets the eye
I've used this for running through the mountains of Canada's arctic, often I threw in some snacks, my climbing shoes(in case I found a boulder that needed climbing), towel(for glacier water ice baths), and a light sweater and water bottle. Holds everything without jiggling and bouncing to allow for miles to be conquered.
It works amazing for cycling and day tripping too!

Great product. I use it for biking back and forth to class when I only need to pack a few things and I like wearing it when I bike in general. Just to note, there is a sleeve for a water bladder :)

Rated 4 out of 5 by ajds Good little pack for cycling
This pack kind of dissapears on a long ride. Very comfortable and not in the way. My only complaint is that the description makes it sound like a water bladder is included and it is not.
